Freshmen grades?

<p>I’m currently in 9th grade, and i am not doing too well right now. I was just wondering, does Brown count freshmen transcripts when reviewing the applications?</p>

<p>This question has been answered before, so I'll just answer it breifly here.</p>

<p>First, freshman grades do count, but not nearly as much as later. If you work really hard your sophomore, junior, and senior years, then it shouldn't hurt you too much.</p>

<p>Second, relax! You're a freshman. Enjoy high school, work hard, do the things you want to do, and then come back here in two years. You're way too young to worry about college.</p>
